Oil ring install question

It's been a couple years since I installed rings and I'm sure that I knew this once....

When you're installing the oil rings (scrapers), I'm recalling that you flex the scraper rings and then install them either flexing up or down. The logic is that there is a little better oil 'scraping' one way or the other.

I'm pretty sure this was from HO Racing, but the memory is fuzzy.

Does anyone remember this detail? Or does it even matter?

Thanks all !!
